Yes Ebbie, I think that they are very pleased with the spouting. Especially since McCain seems incapable of sticking to a particular position for more than a short time.

Going from "the economy is sound" to "one of the worst crises" is his record but by no means the only example. But right now I'm sure that the far right would take Palin over McCain in a heartbeat. At least she follows their script.

On the other hand many many independent or undecided voters are probably going to walk into the booth leaning Republican, look at her name on the ballot and ask themselves. "If her own party and running mate don't even trust her talk to reporters how can I vote to put her that close to being President.

The only people who can vote for her ticket with clarity are those who trust God to protect McCain or to lift her up to the position if needed. She is the ultimate faith based selection.
